Yes — 5 kg or 7 kg can still mean a carry-on suitcase, as long as the suitcase also fits the airline’s size limit.

  • The weight limit just means it has to be a lightly packed cabin-size suitcase. A small hard-shell carry-on can weigh 2–3 kg empty,

  • so with a 5 kg limit you only have about 2–3 kg of stuff left.

  • With 7 kg, it is more manageable.

So:

7 kg carry-on = usually okay for a small cabin suitcase, backpack, or duffel.
5 kg carry-on = still can be a suitcase, but you need to pack very light.
Personal item only = usually not a suitcase; more like a handbag/laptop bag/small backpack under the seat.

Always check the dimensions too, because airlines care about both size and weight.
